IPR International Conference 2025 in Awaji Island
Overview
The Institute for Protein Research (IPR) was established in 1958, the same year when the first successful structural analysis of a protein (myoglobin) was achieved. Over 60 years have passed since then, and today, protein science has reached a significant milestone, as symbolized by breakthroughs like AlphaFold and this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry.What should the next decades of protein science look like? To explore this question, we will hold a conference under the theme, “Navigating through uncharted horizons of protein science”, from January 15 (Wednesday) to January 17 (Friday), 2025, at the Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center.

About IPR
Institute for Protein Research (IPR), established in 1958, has collaborated extensively with researchers globally and was recognized as a Joint Usage/Research Center by MEXT in 2010. It provides advanced facilities for protein and life sciences, including a synchrotron radiation beamline, high-magnetic field NMR machines, and cryo-electron microscopes. IPR also manages the Protein Data Bank Japan (PDBj) as part of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank. Recently, IPR has begun new initiatives, including research on MicroED, a technique for analyzing nano crystals in powder samples using electron microscopes. IPR is committed to contributing to the future of life sciences.
